# Easy UniFi Controller Upgrade Script for Unix/Linux Systems
# by Steve Jenkins (stevejenkins.com)
# Version 2.3
# Last Updated January 8, 2017

# REQUIREMENTS
# 1) Assumes you already have any version of UniFi Controller installed 
#    and running on your system.
# 2) Assumes a user named "ubnt" owns the /opt/UniFi directory.
# 3) Requires a service start/stop script to properly shut down and 
#    restart the UniFi controller before and after upgrade. I've written
#    compatible startup scrips for SysV and systemd systems at 
#    http://wp.me/p1iGgP-2wl
# 4) Requires wget command to fetch the software from UBNT's download site.

# USAGE
# Modify the "UNIFI_DOWNLOAD_URL" variable below using the full URL of
# the UniFi Controller zip file on UBNT's download site. Optionally modify
# any of the additional variables below (defaults should work fine),
# then run the script!

# CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
UNIFI_DOWNLOAD_URL=http://dl.ubnt.com/unifi/5.0.7/UniFi.unix.zip
UNIFI_ARCHIVE_FILENAME=UniFi.unix.zip
UNIFI_OWNER=ubnt
UNIFI_SERVICE=unifi
UNIFI_PARENT_DIR=/opt
UNIFI_DIR=/opt/UniFi
UNIFI_BACKUP_DIR=/opt/UniFi_bak
TEMP_DIR=/tmp
